Dear Juno, The truth is writing to you and talking about what you should have done in your situation is difficult because I can’t ever find myself in a situation like that. What you chose to do was brave though. Either path you could have taken I would consider you brave. Through an accident you brought a life into existence. Whether you had chosen to abort the child or gone through with the pregnancy was totally your choice and in my opinion you chose the more difficult path. Even without ever experiencing what it’s like to be pregnant, and I never will be able to, nor do I have to to say that being pregnant is a difficult thing. Especially carrying the child full term. You did this with the intention of not keeping the child but putting it up for adoption. You did what was right and searched for a good home. Then in order to bring the child into the world and help someone begin a family, you went through one of the hardest things a human can do and that’s labor. I admire your strength through the entire situation. Being a pregnant teenager is not an easy task, especially in High School. You made it through though and for that I really and truly admire you. In my mind you did the right thing going with your feelings and holding onto the baby. You brought a life into this world and you helped someone start a family. That’s incredible.
